'Dice que á distancia de 9 millas de este Pueblo se hallan 24 hombres Cuidadanos Mejicanos en el parage nombrado, Punta gorda, estos no tienen otro fin que proclamar la proteccion de esa Comand.ª, para hacer la defenza de sus familias é intereses.' State that 'las fuerzas veligerantes en favor de Mexico, tratan á todos los infelices Californios como á enemigos'; that the pueblo of Santiago has seen 'que los Gefes de las fuerzas Mexicanas no tratan mas que de arruinar los Pueblos'; several of the most respectable citizens of the jurisdiction therefore place themselves at the orders of that comandancia; they close on the burden of war contributions and the ruin of families and pueblos.
